If its a manual transmission theres probably no way ur gonna get it out with out breaking something, it is a very heavy combo! Even if its an automatic i prefer to take the tranny out before hand it makes it easier to manuever the engine!

Most common engine hoist don't have the stability to hold that kind of weight with the trans hanging off the back. Once you did get it up in the air you take a big risk of tipping the hoist with the swing weight or breaking the boom. I rather be safe than sorry.

From my experience the issue is the weight swings off to one side and literally "twist" the hoist over. These motors a pretty sketchy on a typical hoist anyway, just trying to roll it without turning it over is a challenge .
